Probably Richard 'Dick' Cutting who took over from Charlie Cutting in about 1931
Added by Brian Parks on 06 October 2007.
This is my Grandfather Dick Cutting, my Mother is Hazel Irene Cutting who left Rye during 2nd w/war to live in Birmingham were she still lives and married my father Jack Taylor (unfortunately died November last year). My Grandmother used to own the tea rooms on the harbour which was a disused railway carriage.
My Grandfather left Rye in the 50s to live in Birmingham (much to his disgust) because all the Cutting family were living there and my Grandmother wanted to be near her children, Dick Cutting and Doug Cutting (both have died).
My Mothers sister died Ivy Cutting died at an early age after being severly burnt when her dress caught fire while combing her hair in front of the fire.
Hope you find this information helpful.
